Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at Anfield where Liverpool take on champions Chelsea.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have won their last three league games – each my a margin of three goals – to keep within touch of the top four while another victory here would see them move level on points with their opponents.

They were close to securing a fifth straight win in all competitions on Tuesday evening but eventually drew with Sevilla in the Champions League despite leading 3-0 at half-time.

Joel Matip is likely to return having missed the last two games with a thigh injury while there is also a good chance of Adam Lallana featuring for the first time this season though Emre Can is a doubt with a muscle problem.

Mohamed Salah, who added two to his tally to become the top scorer in the division in last weekend’s triumph over Southampton is 7.0 (6/1) to get the first goal of the game with Sky Bet with Philippe Coutinho an 8.0 (7/1) chance with Bet 365.

The hosts are favourites at 2.2 (6/5) with Bet 365, with the visitors as highly priced as the 3.55 (28/11) on offer from Unibet. The draw is a 3.7 (27/10) chance with Betfair.

Antonio Conte’s men go into this game on the back of back-to-back 4-0 away wins having followed last weekend’s league win at West Bromwich Albion with victory over Azerbaijani champions Qarabag in Europe on Wednesday.

Should they get what would be a seventh win in eight games here, they will close the gap between themselves and league leaders Manchester City, who travel to Huddersfield Town on Sunday afternoon.

Victor Moses is available after six weeks out with a hamstring injury though Michy Batshuayi, Charly Musonda and Kenedy remain on the sidelines.

Unibet have Alvaro Morata as the 6.0 (5/1) favourite to open the scoring ahead of 8.5 (15/2) chance Eden Hazard.

Both teams have scored in all but two of the last fourteen meetings between the sides and you can back that outcome this time around at a price of 1.57 (4/7) with a number of firms.
